-2: Bad wine, undrinkable

0: Okay wine, neither disliked or liked
1: Good wine, might buy
2: Great wine, definitely will buy
Wine #46
Variety: Brut
Region: N/A
Country: Italy
Year: N/A
Price: $8.95
Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste.
My Review:This first point tasted of sweet floral orange blossoms at first combined with either a bit of bitter floral or some light fruits such as lemon lime citrus Eunice combined with orange. When you first drink this wine you were reminded somewhat of a Scotto and how they have their small sparkling and citrus components however this sparkling wine is quite different because it has much drier quality than any Muscato that I have had before.overall it was not very good it didn't leave any distinct impression but would probably go well in a Mamosa do too it's cheap price and non-strong or overpowering flavors.

Wine #47
Variety: Godello
Region: Bierzo
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95
Winery review:
Clean pale yellow color. Nose fruity, persistent and elegant aromas. Good backbone on the palate.
My Review:
This one has some interesting characteristics on the nose of burnt toast with butter and a slight sort of gravy sort of very wheaty and kind of savory. This made for a very interesting smelling wine however it did not seem to carry through much on the taste. It was smooth with a very heavy body but it lacked a lot of the flavors that were promised to me in the aroma of the wine.
My overall impression is that this is an interesting one to smile but not a super interesting wine to drink. Most people probably enjoy this wine and it will definitely show people how buttery some wines can be.

Wine #48
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Arlanza
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
Price: $12
It has a cherry red color, live, fresh, clean. Very fruity, berries (strawberries, cherries), elegant and surprising. The palate is well balanced and fresh wine in step, with good acidity and is pleasant and enjoyable. It should be served cold, with all types of starters, fish and light meats.
My Review:
This third one was absolutely awful started with extreme heat from the alcohol that you could smell on the nose. There was not much else to the nose of this wine you could see that it had some fruity flavors hidden underneath the alcohol but they were not very apparent. When you drink the wine you see that it has some cherry and maybe some floral type Cherry Blossom flavors remind me quite a lot of DC during the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Overall I believe this going to be very poorly made which is probably why I have such a cheap price I would not buy it and I do not recommend people buy it because it's just not very pleasant to drink not because of any flavors that offend but because it is not well composed.

Wine #49
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95
The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti or our best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.
My Review:
Black cherry raspberry and Blackberries Arlette first comes to mind when you start drinking this wine. They are a parent on the nose without being overpowering. When you start to drink this wine you see that also has sort of toasty components to it that complement the tannin structure well. It has a very heavy body with some spice like white pepper in the end sort of heating up the back of your tongue in a different way from alcohol heat. This can be very nice but I would rather have a wine that had a little bit more fruit or some heavier tannins and toastyness to it.
Overall this was a decent wine that I have no real problem drinking and probably would finish the glass that was given to me, however I probably would not buy it myself.

Variety: Moscato
Region: Pavia
Country: Italy
Year: N/A
Price: $9.95
Loaded with juicy exotic fruit, mature apricot, yellow peach and tangerine flavors, this sweet and delightful wine is perfect for Sunday brunch or picnics.
My Review:
This must Gato was just a mess, bitter floral components with very little orange or fruit to be seen on the nose. The lack of extreme citrus or floral components on the nose is strange for on the Scotto and makes me question if this is not cheap bargain wine given its low price and high volume. It has none of the sparkling or acid bite but I come to expect from a Scotto and instead it leaves me with a very sweet somewhat still somewhat watery wine that even loses it sweet on the aftertaste to become slightly bitter.
Not a terrible wind taken in context with other wines in this tasting but a terrible wine in context of other must Gato's i've had.
Rating: -1.5
